Description Michal Jaegermann 2000-08-08 04:41:02 UTC
After installation of "everything" one ends up in /boot with
both "regular" and "enterprise" kernels, but:
  a) /boot/module-info is a link pointing towards a non-existent file
     'module-info-2.2.16-17entreprise'
  b) there is no 'initrd' which corresponds to "enterprise" kernel
     so this one is unbootable without runnnig 'mkinitrd' first
     (at least when one boots from a SCSI disk)
  c) what needs over 3 Megs of uncompressed kernels in /boot
     while exactly the same information is contained in gzipped
     "vmlinuz" kernels also in the same location; the later are
     really used
  d) AC97 VIA soundcard does not work with any of those kernels
     and their modules (but this is another story and yes, the card
     does work with Linux and Mandrake 7.0 supports it "straight out
     of the box").

The via module does not work for you?
